And to think I was thinking about ordering one of his finely crafted .22's. He does make some beautiful rifles but he will not be getting any business from me. Perhaps he thinks that the only rifles anyone really needs are bolt action. This is very infuriating from someone in the gun business to not recognize and stand with others in supporting our 2nd amendment rights. I say give him the full measure of the Zumbo treatmentcheers, BigBadBob

I guess before we keel-haul one of our own supposedly, we had better make sure of the facts since there was some strange politics going with some disrupting (contributing) one or the other of the Democratic ticket. Michael, I think you are the man to "drop a dime" to Cooper and ask him straight up about the issue. Publishing a retraction or getting an article published by him correcting the facts might go along way to preventing some serious consequences. If he is an Obama supporter - I say keel-haul him!

The statement on the Cooper website is a gem... "it's just Mr. Cooper's personal view, not the company's" ... no statement that he was misquoted, no denial of the contributions he made... it's a privately owned company, he's the owner, you make stupid decisions, you go out of business... tough luck, moron. Join Zumbo and Leatherman.

Seems pretty clear to me.Cooper was involved in the effort to deny Hillary the nomination, because she was considered the most dangerous candidate at the time. I know a number of lifelong republicans who did the same to try to weaken the dems.After the primaries were over, he contributed to McCain to defeat Obama.USA Today used him to screw with republicans. Obama is running ads, at least in NC, about how he wants to preserve our 2nd amendment rights and big media is helping himn sow dissension.

According to the FECC records, Cooper made 11 contributions to Obama beginning after the he got the tingle up his leg from Obama's Dem Convention speech in '04. Long before Obama announced he was running for POTUS.

Saying that his contributions had anything to do with trying to weaken Clinton for the good of the Republicans is a lie.

To think that I had my "sights" set on a Cooper! Not now. F___ him. If his guns were the last available, I'd go back to my "sharp sticks and string". As an entrepeneur, he's off base anyhow. He's in b-HO's crosshairs, for a tax increase!Life Member

There was several years between Old Man Ruger selling us out and his dropping dead. After he sold us out people still bought Ruger firearms for a long while before the Ruger family sold all interests in the company.

And Dumbo "saw the light" under duress as he was obviously trying to salvage his career. He is still a Fudd who would sell us out in a heartbeat.
